Exodus 20:18-26

18And all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 the thunderingsH6963, and the lightningsH3940, and the noiseH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226: and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they removedH5128, and stoodH5975 afar offH7350. 19And they saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SpeakH1696 thou with us, and we will hearH8085: but let not GodH430 speakH1696 with us, lest we dieH4191. 20And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 not: for GodH430 is comeH935 toH5668 proveH5254 you, and that his fearH3374 may be before your facesH6440, that ye sinH2398 not. 21And the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 afar offH7350, and MosesH4872 drew nearH5066 unto the thick darknessH6205 where GodH430 was.

22And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Thus thou shalt sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye have seenH7200 that I have talkedH1696 with you from heavenH8064. 23Ye shall not makeH6213 with me godsH430 of silverH3701, neither shall ye makeH6213 unto you godsH430 of goldH2091.

24An altarH4196 of earthH127 thou shalt makeH6213 unto me, and shalt sacrificeH2076 thereon thy burnt offeringsH5930, and thy peace offeringsH8002, thy sheepH6629, and thine oxenH1241: in all placesH4725 where I recordH2142 my nameH8034 I will comeH935 unto thee, and I will blessH1288 thee. 25And if thou wilt makeH6213 me an altarH4196 of stoneH68, thou shalt not buildH1129 it of hewn stoneH1496: for if thou lift upH5130 thy toolH2719 upon it, thou hast pollutedH2490 it.1 26Neither shalt thou go upH5927 by stepsH4609 unto mine altarH4196, that thy nakednessH6172 be not discoveredH1540 thereon.
